Discussion on another thread brought up the accuracy of harvest statistics and mandatory reporting and how effective it is. I didn't want to hijack that thread any further so I'm continuing that topic here.
Another poster commented that he had heard from a biologist that the response rate on...
I came across this graph while reading through some Idaho elk management information. The effects of advancing technology on harvest success has been debated in the past but this is the first time I've seen a graph that illustrates how this has changed over time. I did some quick looking at...

I will be rugging a mountain lion that I shot recently. I have done two bear rugs and am confident in my ability to do a good job on my lion.
My question is what to do with the claws. Should the claws be extended or retracted. If retracted they would not be visible so should I just remove...
